Internet Safety…Beyond the Computer…

After tooling around online looking for sites to keep kids safe online… well I felt like society has beat that topic to death. Most people understand the basic need to stay safe online… What I think both parents and teacher are struggling is with is how to keep students safe with all the new “smart” technologies they carry around in their pockets. 

I myself encourage my students to bring their cell phone to class. Risky … I know… but there are so my many amazing things we can do with them in the classroom. But after reading “Color…Why?” I am going to have to rethink a few things. Parents and Teachers need to read Color…Why? to understand that the smart technology are capable of.  The post explains a new app that sends pictures to people that are within 150ft of the phone!
